The TEIC Programme

The TEIC Programme is open to native English speakers from any country. If you are not a native English speaker, but can speak English fluently, you can also apply. We have Germans, Dutch and a Swede on the programme.

TEIC is a small, friendly and non-commercial programme, offering a more personal travel experience. Your role, as a Teaching Assistant, will be to provide English language conversational classes and correct students’ written work. The positions are in top-quality, vetted state schools, colleges or universities, in major cities e.g. Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing, Anshan, Urumqi, and Shijiazhuang. All institutions recruit at least two English language teachers per year from the programme.

The programme runs from September to June. The Fall semester runs until early January with a mid semester break but no Christmas break. There is a four/five week holiday for the Chinese New Year, in January/February. This is when the teachers go travelling within China or outside the country. The Spring semester, with a mid semester break of a week, finishes at the end of June. There are a number of public state holidays in addition to these. Many teaching assistants delay their return in order to enjoy a further period of travel.

TEIC is run in conjunction with The China Education Association for International Exchange (CEAIE) [www.ceaie.edu.cn] in Beijing. Professor Phil Thomas is the independent UK recruitment specialist, see www.law.cardiff.ac.uk/staff/ThomasPA for more information.

CEAIE extensively conducts exchange and cooperation by working with educational and research institutions, academic bodies, exchange organizations and schools, as well as organizations, enterprises, foundations and individuals in other countries and regions who are enthusiastic for supporting educational development on the basis of principles of equality and friendship.

Affiliated to the Ministry of Education of China, CEAIE is a nationwide, not-for-profit organisation. It was founded in 1981 with the approval of the State Council of China. In 1991 it was registered with the Ministry of Civil Affairs and in 1994 was registered with the UN's
